We, all of us Lovecraftians, owe an inestimable debt to Marc Michaud. Spare him a thought as you sit down in your easy chair with a glass of sherry and your copy of “Midnight Shambler”.
Thanks, Marc. Thanks for the memories.
Also present is “The Whisperer Made Visible”, another Lovecraftian tinged horror original to this collection. This story alone, with its subtle machinations of malignant cosmic entities, makes the new collection worth its price…
John Shirley is one of the most versatile writers of speculative fiction working today, with seminal works in science fiction, fantasy, and horror.

These are fine stories… that explore the darkness that lurks on the edge of our subconscious…
As with most PS Publishing volumes the production values for the book are high, with cover art by Marcelo Gallegos that invokes both wonder and terror…
The editors have chosen “Drunk on Dream” by Jeffrey Thomas to closeout the collection. It’s a superb little piece that reminds us why Thomas is so loved by his readers. It’s full of the ennui of modern life, and the joy that comes from the tiny seemingly insignificant fantasies that sustain us through the day when nothing else will, and the deep sadness – that strange melancholy that swallows us – when we are forced to abandon them.
Andy Serkis says that THE LAST HOUSE ON NEEDLESS STREET is “the kind of book you come across once in a lifetime”, and he’s adapting it into a movie.
Stephen King writes that he “was blown away. It’s a true nerve-shredder that keeps its mind-blowing secrets to the very end. Haven’t read anything this exciting since GONE GIRL.”

In some ways, this is an incredible book about growing old with the one you love.
Then things get weird.
I was particularly pleased with the description of two senior citizens struggling against an ocean enraged by both a hurricane and the presence of a nascent elder god.
There are relatively few books in which the elderly function as protagonists, and Schlossberg not only makes you care for the pair of them, but also makes their plight and actions in the face of a personal apocalypse feel perfectly appropriate and natural.
